Deleting temporary Internet files
As you visit Web sites, your browser stores temporary Internet files on your
hard drive in a memory cache and a disk cache. Files in the memory cache are
removed when you turn off your computer. Files are saved in the disk cache
until the space designated for the cache is full. See your browser’s Help files
for instructions on emptying the disk cache.
You can save space on the hard drive by decreasing the size of the Internet
file disk cache. See your browser’s Help files for instructions.
Emptying the Recycle Bin
When you delete a file from your hard drive in Windows, it is not immediately
removed from the hard drive. Instead, the file is moved into the Recycle Bin.
Because files are stored in the Recycle Bin and not deleted from the hard drive
immediately, you can retrieve a file that you accidentally delete from the hard
drive.
To delete all the files from the Recycle Bin, right-click the
Recycle
Bin
icon
on the desktop, then select
Empty Recycle Bin
.
You can save space on the hard drive by decreasing the size of the Recycle Bin.
To decrease the size of the Recycle Bin:
1
Right-click the
Recycle Bin
icon on the desktop.
2
Select
Properties
. The Recycle Bin Properties window opens.
3
At the Global tab, select either
Configure drives independently
or
Use one
setting for all drives.
4
If you are configuring drives independently, click the tab for the drive
you want to configure.
5
Move the slider to set the size of the Recycle Bin. 5% is a good initial
setting.

Click
OK
